Early stakeholder modeling and analysis: New mobility services (Product Service Systems of Systems)

Developing new mobility services such as electric vehicles and autonomous vehicles services requires not only the interaction and interoperation of independent systems such as electric vehicles, electric infrastructure, or off‐board servers, but also the collaboration of independent business partners, namely, car manufacturers, energy providers, and service providers, developing, managing and operating these systems. Such services show both Product Service Systems and Systems of Systems characteristics and, as such, can be defined as Product‐Service Systems of Systems. While extensive literature exists on developing and managing PSS product and service elements and SoS constituent systems, little research explicitly focuses on PSSoS stakeholders. In particular, the analysis of PSSoS stakeholder business partnerships and involvement in PSSoS development. PSSoS development is seen as the development, operation, and management of constituent systems. This paper contributes to addressing this gap and proposes an approach to manage stakeholder participation in the PSSoS business partnership and PSSoS development.

“…SoS development is described as the expansion of the thinking beyond the boundaries of independent systems and how the combination of the functions of individual systems can be synthetized to create a new functionality. Different SoS frameworks include functional representations for SoS (Fakhfakh, Hein, Chazal, & Jankovic, 2020) . For instance, functional chains represent functions and their logical and execution relationships (including information and energy flows for example).…”

A System of System (SoS) is a synthesis of independent systems functioning together towards a common goal. They are characterized by their dynamic nature and evolvability during operation: addition, removal, and modification of component systems and functions. It is, therefore, important to characterize the tolerance of such systems to changes and failures. Most change propagation and failure analysis methods require some knowledge of failure and change probabilities, failure modes, and design parameters, which is difficult to obtain or unavailable to an SoS decision-maker, as component systems are independent in their management and operation. Consequently, this paper uses highlevel SoS functional models and network-based metrics to characterize SoSs functions and assess the functional change and failure of such systems. The proposed measures are deployed on an electric vehicle to grid-related service to show how it can aid an SoS decision-maker during the system's development and operation.

“…Currently, the Construction Equipment domain is undergoing paradigm shifts from hardware-intensive machinery products towards software/data intensive integrated mechatronic information systems. The latter are complex System-of-Systems (SoS) (Maier 1998) referred to as Product Service Systems (PSS), where the physical product is part of a much larger entity, consisting of other physical products as well as information systems, providing "capabilities" and "services" beyond the scope of the functionality of a single product (Fakhfakh 2020). Capabilities can be summarized as "the power or ability to do something" and are attributed to systems or SoS (Martin et al 2022).…”

Towards a Unified Architecture Methodology for Product Service Systems

There is ongoing digital transformation in many industrial contexts including non‐digital hardware‐intensive domains such as heavy construction equipment machinery. This transformation is augmented by the latest technologies, increasing sustainability regulations, as well as integrated customer needs. This paradigm shift is causing transformation of current product‐centric business models towards complex business models enabled by so‐called Product Service Systems (PSS) offering advanced “capabilities” and “services”. However, the development of PSSs requires a holistic approach to unify underlying solution domains such as mechatronic systems, embedded software control as well as information systems. In this paper, we describe a holistic “unified” architecture description methodology towards aligning the underlying domain‐specific design and development contexts. The framework, developed in construction domain, consists of two main parts: a minimalistic reference model as the “common language” for cross‐functional stakeholder communication; a modeling methodology based on existing standard modeling frameworks. We illustrate the methodology using examples from the construction equipment domain.
